To get the Gryphon Sword fast in Haze Seas, farm the Red Emperor in Sea 3’s Black Throne Room, kill other superbosses to cut down his 4-hour respawn timer, and repeat the fight until the 2.5% sword drop lands.
Gryphon is an endgame sword farm, so speed comes from getting more Red Emperor attempts instead of waiting around. The route is simple once you are in the right Sea 3 room: check the timer, fill the downtime with superboss kills, then return before Red Emperor appears.

KEY!Before you start the grind, make sure you are farming the correct boss and room. Red Emperor is not a regular mob farm, and the throne room itself gives you the cooldown information you need for planning each run.
Older 5% chatter is best left behind for this farm; plan around the 2.5% rate and expect multiple Red Emperor kills.
How to get Gryphon Sword in Haze Seas with Red Emperor loop
What you need first
Reach Sea 3
Travel to Sea 3 and head for Land of the Gods, since Red Emperor does not spawn in earlier seas.
Enter the largest building
Go inside the biggest structure on Land of the Gods; the Black Throne Room is inside it.
Find the Black Throne Room
Use the empty room with no regular mobs as your checkpoint, then read the visible Red Emperor cooldown.
Farm superbosses while waiting
If the timer is still high, kill other superbosses on the same server to subtract 10 minutes from Red Emperor’s remaining spawn time per kill.
Return before the timer ends
Come back to the Black Throne Room when the countdown is close so you are there when Red Emperor appears.
Defeat Red Emperor
Fight the Level 7000 boss, collect the boss drops, and reset for another attempt.
Repeat the loop
Keep cycling superboss downtime and Red Emperor kills until the rare Gryphon drop lands.
Leave the throne room only for useful downtime farming; rotate into superboss kills, then return before the Red Emperor countdown ends.
Red Emperor fight safety
Red Emperor is dangerous because the fight lasts long enough for mistakes to stack. A single hit can remove more than 1,000 HP, so standing directly next to him is the fastest way to lose a spawn attempt.
Play the fight with distance, mobility, and ranged damage in mind. Phoenix or Dragon fruit makes the battle safer because you can keep dealing damage from farther away instead of trading hits up close.
Keep moving after each damage window and avoid getting greedy when his attacks are active. Your goal is not only to kill Red Emperor, but to preserve the attempt so the rare drop roll actually happens.
Red Emperor drops while farming Gryphon
| Drop | Chance |
|---|---|
| 2x Blade Fragments | 100% |
| Emperor Cape | 5% |
| Gryphon | 2.5% |
Blade Fragments are the guaranteed payout from each clear, while Emperor Cape is the side drop you may see during the same grind. Gryphon is the rare target, so the farm is built around repeating this boss efficiently.
Gryphon moves and mastery requirements
| Move | Unlock |
|---|---|
| Crimson Barrage (C) | Unlocked immediately; surrounds your character in a crimson aura and fires a slash toward your cursor. |
| Death Cross (X) | Mastery 25; wraps you in the same crimson aura, then dashes at the target for heavy damage. |
| Vanishing Tornadoes (Z) | Mastery 50; releases three crimson tornadoes in separate directions as Gryphon’s strongest area attack. |
Once Gryphon drops, you get a compact sword kit built around crimson slashes, a dash attack, and area pressure. The first move is available right away, while the rest of the moveset opens through mastery.
Faster Gryphon farming setup
Your fastest runs come from treating the Black Throne Room as a timer hub, not a waiting room. When Red Emperor is not close to spawning, rotate into superboss kills, then get back before the countdown finishes.
Bring a high-DPS group if you can. More damage shortens each Red Emperor kill and reduces the chance of dying late in the fight, which matters more than spending the downtime on unrelated farming.
After Gryphon drops, move stat points into sword and equip gear that raises your overall damage. The sword’s moves benefit from that setup immediately, so having it ready saves extra downtime after the rare drop.
Do not burn time in earlier seas or similar-looking rooms. The farm only matters in Sea 3 at Land of the Gods, inside the correct Black Throne Room.
